The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is a law that applies to public companies. It aims to maintain trust in financial reporting. Internal controls are important for preventing fraud and ensuring accurate financial statements.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies only to public companies. Its purpose is to maintain public confidence in financial reporting. It requires these companies to report on the effectiveness of their internal control procedures.
Internal Control Objectives
Internal control has three main objectives. These are to ensure accurate financial reports, to comply with laws and to safeguard the company's assets. The control environment is the overall attitude towards internal control.
Control Procedures
Separating responsibilities for different tasks is a key control procedure. This includes separating operations, custody of assets, and accounting. A voucher system is used to control cash payments.
Bank Reconciliation
A bank reconciliation compares the cash balance per bank statement with the cash balance per company's records. It includes adjustments for items like deposits in transit, outstanding checks, and errors.
